Napped Printed Cotton Denim Work Pants Fabric from Japan

This heavy-weight woven cotton fabric, over 85% cotton and weighing more than 200 g/m², features a printed 3-thread twill denim structure with a napped surface for added warmth and texture. The napping process raises fibers on one side, providing insulation ideal for workwear, while the printing adds decorative patterns. It falls under HTS 5209.52.00.40 due to its twill weave, high cotton content, weight, printing, and napped finish.
